About The Work
This limited-edition swim trunk is inspired by Adams' Floater series, which depicts African American men, women and children lounging on whimsical swan, duck, and rainbow-maned unicorn floaties. This artwork radiates joy in a world of ultimate leisure - a fresh depiction of American iconography. Vivid turquoise anchors the print while spectacular pops of citron, magenta, and lime are layered throughout.
The swim trunk features Vilebrequin's classic 5" cut with stretchy, quick dry fabric for maximum comfort. Featuring side and back pockets and eyelets on the back to prevent your swimtrunk from ballooming in the water.
"After designing a unicorn pool float last year, I wanted to pair it with swim trunk featuring my paintings, but set the notion aside. A few months later I received a remarkably serendipitous email from the most venerable of swimwear brands wishing to collaborate, and the rest, as they say, is history. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do," - Derrick Adams
